Part Two focuses on becoming a reflective teacher, including how to determine the levels of skills proficiency. Part Three discusses active teaching skills, such as establishing protocols and maintaining appropriate behaviour. Part Four is devoted to the development of movement concepts and explores space awareness, effort and the relationships of body parts. Part Five addresses skill themes in dance, gymnastics and games. Part Six explains how to apply skill themes to in-school and out-of-school activities. One of the chapters in this section provides a range of ideas to adapt the content for diverse learners. Part Seven focuses on the future. Icons highlighting assessment, cognitive understanding and safety are included. This professional resource offers photographs, charts, diagrams and drawings.

This comprehensive book provides a framework to assist educators in developing their students' movement skills in an enjoyable way. Teaching Movement Education offers a movement education tree with roots for the four basic movement concepts (i.e., body, space, effort, relationships) and numerous developmentally appropriate activities. Included in the book are a table of contents, a list of resources for teaching the movement education framework, a glossary of movement education terms and an index.

As games are an important aspect of physical education, this book provides educators with current research and a conceptualization model for teaching games for understanding (TGfU). By exploring the learner's development of games knowledge, improvements in games teaching and learning occur. The book presents teaching and learning games at various levels. It also addresses the role of assessment in teaching games for understanding as well as integration of cooperative learning and tactical game models. Examples of teachers implementing TGfU illustrate the success of this model. This resource is a solid support for deeper understanding related to target games, striking/fielding games, net/wall games and invasion/territorial games. Included are a table of contents and an index.
